Steve Jobs

PinExt Steve Jobs

Who wouldn’t want to read the biography of the man who gave us Apple, iTunes, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad, Pixar, and so much more? Regardless of Steve Job’s beliefs, you have to respect what he was able to accomplish in his lifetime. I would say he accomplished his goal of “making a dent in the universe!”

This was a great read! Although I don’t agree with a lot of Steve’s beliefs and the way he tended to treat people, I believe you can learn from anyone and after reading this book I can tell you that you can learn a ton from Steve Jobs!

My Big Takeaway: There were a lot of them, but this is the one that hit me the hardest:

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

Too often, I don’t go after what’s in my heart because of fear. Steve never had that problem! He knew what he wanted and he went for it! Steve’s life has helped me gain the courage and confidence to go after what’s in my heart.

This is a long read, but it’s an excellent one. I’d recommend it to anyone who is interested in leadership, business, or entrepreneurship.

One Question That Changes Everything

PinExt One Question That Changes Everything

Over Christmas break, I was watching an interview on CNN with Kelsey Grammar. He was talking about how he is on his fourth marriage and how he had overcome a cocaine addiction.

In talking about his addiction, he said, “Cocaine is amazing. It’s so much fun. I loved doing it.” The interviewer then asked, “Then how did you overcome the addiction?”

He said that he went through therapy and his therapist asked him one question that changed everything.
